I thank everyone who has come in. The opening statement was very strong. "Many of the key indicators are going in the wrong direction and some of our EU-protected habitats are not in a favourable conservation status. If we do not bring about improvements, we may face further infringement action from the EU and may face heavy fines." We will face infringement action and heavy fines. It is a very serious situation. Is the NPWS confident it is being turned around or is it too soon to say? What exactly is being done to get those EU-protected habitats that are not in favourable conservation status into favourable conservation status?
